HEAR FROM OUR AMAZING VOLUNTEERS
“Many within our communities look daily for a light at the end of the tunnel. They want to know that they have the support they need to get through whatever struggle they are dealing with at the moment… I seek to do what I can to make the struggle a little easier.
Volunteering with United Way is such a great way to get involved. Their vision and desire to help our communities is absolutely amazing. Giving your time goes a long way.”

“My volunteerism stems from my personal story that I share often within our teams and as part of our financial wellness outreach. As a low to moderate income area native, I have been able to pursue a wide range of opportunities due to the Mentoring, Allyship and Sponsorship of many leaders here at PNC, the United Way, Family and Friends.
Giving back to our communities is a responsibility that I feel is important to encourage others like myself to turn their aspirations into reality.
